News, Notes & Storylines

• Las Vegas’ depth: The Aces’ roster allows them to rotate effectively, dominate the paint, and maintain scoring even when their stars rest.
• Seattle’s pushback: The Storm showed in Game 2 they can execute late, control turnovers, and hit clutch shots to keep pace.
• Matchups to watch: A’ja Wilson against Seattle’s frontcourt, guard play on both ends, and the rebounding battle — all of which will likely decide the outcome.

Previous Meeting Information

The series is tied 1–1. Las Vegas dominated Game 1, 102–77, while Seattle answered with a narrow Game 2 win, 86–83. In the regular season, the Storm and Aces split their matchups. This proves that either team can dictate the pace depending on who wins the rebounding and turnover battles.

Storm vs. Aces Game 3 Prediction

Las Vegas has the superior roster, bench depth, and the home-court advantage in this decisive Game 3. Seattle’s win in Game 2 was fueled by late-game execution and hot shooting. However, repeating that performance in Las Vegas is a tough task. Expect the Aces’ size, rebounding, and scoring balance to overwhelm the Storm over four quarters.

The pick — Las Vegas Aces −7.5.
The Aces will cover at home, control the paint, and advance with a statement win. The total of 159.5 leans slightly to the under if defenses tighten late. However, the strongest play is backing Las Vegas against the spread.
